Background

History

The station was formally opened on 31 August 1886 by the Whitland and Cardigan Railway although a day later they were taken over the Great Western Railway. It was situated on the west side of a minor road on the B4332. On the up platform were the station master's house, the booking office and the station building. On the south end of the up platform was the signal box, which controlled the level crossing and allowed access to the goods yard, which had three sidings, a stone-built goods shed and a cattle dock. The station closed to passengers on 10 September 1962 and closed to goods on 27 May 1963. The station building survives as do the platforms, albeit in an overgrown state.
